Chapter 13

"SARACEN" Vex shouted as he walked into his friends house

"What?!" came a muffled reply from up the stairs. Vex decided he wasn't going to go up there, he knew Saracen too well, and upstairs was going to be a tip.

"I'm putting the kettle on, I'm not shouting up to you" he shouted, now he sounded like his mother.

"I'm tired" and there's Vex at age 17.

"I'm not going to shout again" he muttered the same words his mother shouted to him all them years ago. He then started to unpack the bag he brought with him. Bacon baps and a cup of coffee that what he needed.

As soon as the bacon started cooking he heard bumping and grumbling coming from up stairs. Bacon had drawn him out of his pit. Vex started to put bacon on bits of bread and coffee into cups just as Saracen walked into the room.

"Do you know what time it is!" he grumbled

"Morning'" Vex replied brightly looking at the clock he said "Its nine in the morning"

"It's early" seeing the bacon and coffee he added "I see you have to courtesy to make breakfast" he sat down and grabbed one of the bacon rolls.

"What do you want?" he said through mouthfuls of food.

"I don't know how to explain it" he sat too and rubbed his hand down his face. "Well I was on the way to the shops and there was this woman and well she got mugged, so I chased after the muggers and got her bag back"

"And this is the reason you got me up at stupid o'clock"

"No I haven't finished, but the mugger was a mage too. And he ran down an alley way, I followed. When he stopped he turned and looked at me. And said he knew the truth about Ravel and that they were trying to make a comeback. I told him Ravel was dead. He said I know, but the children of the spider are rising again"

Saracen just looked at him. "And what did you do?"

"Shot him"

"You shot him"

"Yep and gave the woman back her handbag"

"You shot someone, what with?"

"My gun"

"Didn't the woman hear the shot?"

"No she was deaf and didn't understand that I was trying to give her, her bag back. When I gave it her she started hitting me with it"

Saracen couldn't help but laugh.

"It's not funny, it hurt"

"It is, if you get me up this early I'm going to laugh at what you say"

"Hummh"

"Is that all you wanted to tell me?"

"China wants to see you"

"Okay"

"By the way your clocks wrong"

"Is it?" he turned to look at the clock. "What time is it?"

"Three in the afternoon"
